    Risk of genetic defects from cousins is very small, on par with a woman giving birth over age 30.

    And “to prevent abuse”? We already have lots of laws to address that.

    Stop telling people who they’re allowed to sleep with.

      The thing with inbreeding is that it stacks. One generation of cousin-fuckers might not be a problem but fast forward a few generations and you’ll have enlarged tongue having fixed jaw drooling mentally retarded fuckers. Not that the average American is any different, but it’d still be a bit icky.
